Review: Alix Perez here with a release you'd expect to surface on Eglo under his Arp 101 alias as opposed to Shogun Audio. Regardless, Annie's Song is a bold statement of Perez's undoubted production talents, demonstrating he's fully capable of producing tracks that in a perfect world would gain mainstream success. Teaming up with vocalist Sam Willis, "Annie's Song" is a vivid, 21st century slant on UK RnB replete with slow burning synths, half step drum programming and plucked strings. On the flip Shadow Child rewires the track for the club, fixing on an authentic UKG flex that sounds like it's been dug up from a forgotten DJ EZ mixtape.

Review: Taken from Shogun's recent 10 years collection, here we find two of the label's stone cold classics twisted by two of the best remixers possible... Calibre does the honours on Perez's soulful stepper "Forsaken". Adding a seemingly endless roll to the drums and letting Peven Everett's vocal take centre stage, it's - typically - yet another essential Calibre moment. Flip for Calyx & Teebee's update on Spor's still futuristic slammer "Aztec". A gamechanger when it was released in 2009, C&T have paid total respect and added just the right touches to ensure its relevance in the game six years later.
